Dear Gouri,
Well we are back from Uzbekistan, tired but immeasurably enriched by our experiences! The holiday went well from beginning to end, without a single hitch anywhere. All the guides were excellent- and I mean excellent and I speak as a seasoned traveller of more than forty years experience. All the accommodation was good/very good except perhaps The Asia Hotel in Khiva which had no hot water when it was -10 c. outside! The first day’s itinary was tough after such a journey to get to …

We have returned this week from another fabulous holiday organised for us by Great Vacations/Tailormade Journeys and so I am contacting you to thank you and all your team, both in the UK and in Sri Lanka, for making our holiday so enjoyable. We have been to India three times with your company, but this was the first time we have been beyond the Sub Continent, so it was a whole new experience which I’m pleased to say we thoroughly enjoyed.

As alway…

Thank you so much for organising our trip to India . We had such a great time, India is such a wonderful country. We both thought all the reps, guides and drivers were so professional and looked after us really well! The hotels were lovely and the trip ran absolutely seamlessly. It was the perfect mix of adventure, luxury and total relaxation!

Hi

I just wanted to let you know that we had an absolutely wonderful Sri Lanka holiday. The hotels were all lovely I particularly liked the Amaya Hills Hotel as it was so different. The whole itinerary was great and Chamila the driver took great care of it. It was a pleasure to be in his company.

Everything was perfect. I would highly recommend the holiday to Sri Lanka. Thank you for making the arrangements

Kind Regards

Dear Gouri,

Just a quick email to say how much we enjoyed our travels in Sri

Lanka and the Maldives which you organised for us. Sri Lanka was a

wonderful experience helped by our personal driver Viraj. The hotels were beautiful, and as we were on our honeymoon, organised special treats for us. The country itself was really interesting with the highlight of seeing and feeding the baby elephants in captivity and also seeing them and other animals in the wild on our safari. The Mal…
